The right blend of garden features is the key to a perfect yard. You can refresh your landscape and reinvigorate its charm simply by adding new ornaments to your exterior. Whether you need to replace an old, damaged fountain, or just make a change, adding different details to your landscape design will do the trick.

The trouble is, sometimes it can be overwhelming to choose from so many options - so we decided to run a search and help you find the best garden features for your landscape.

Consider Investing in Garden Water Features

With the right garden details - like a landscaping fish pond, feature pond, wildlife pond, or rock water feature or fountain - you can achieve a refined visual appeal in your garden. The most important thing is to choose details that will match the existing space. There are numerous options such as small bridges, different rock water features, irrigation and plants which are just right for a unique garden pond, creating the perfect excuse to enjoy the nice, calming sound of the water. All that’s left to do is relax.

Refresh the Exterior with Nice Pathways

Another interesting option for a garden makeover is the pathway. A nice patio can change the appearance of your yard completely and even make you want to spend more time outdoors. Before you can start the path, the soil needs to be firm and compact enough to support the base, as well as the membrane and subbase installation. This process is slightly harder, and many garden renovators choose to call the paving experts and make sure everything is done properly. Speaking of pavings, don’t forget the nicest part of the garden - the pool area. As an important feature of your garden, the pool deserves special attention and care. Every pool area needs to have at least one meter of paved walking space around the edges to keep the whole family safe, so why not make it look fabulous?

Retaining Walls

Timber retaining wall constructions are a very popular choice, not only because they are economical but also because they’re suitable for almost every type of landscaping design. If you want to achieve a warm, natural look in your landscape, this is a great solution, and there’s an option for everyone. It comes in numerous sizes and styles, so if you are looking for the most popular style, go with redwood or pressure-treated. It’s important to note that, due to contact with soil and moisture, retaining walls cannot last forever, but by hiring professionals who know how to correctly construct and maintain them, it’s possible to extend their life.

Garden Plant Installation

Give your garden that final touch of refinement by choosing the right plants. This is an ideal way to make a change and it can be done easily by combining different types of bushes, flowers and trees. You can arrange your yard in a number of styles depending on whether you prefer succulent, coastal, cacti, or modern vibes. You can spend forever playing with your options and creating a new outdoor experience, or you can simply hire garden plant installers and get back to enjoying your space.
